Even if progress is regressing it doesn't necessarily mean that the new people aren't getting anything out of the wipes, which is still beneficial? If a dude doesn't get a clear, at least he can carry over his experience to the next day he attempts it and so on.

i think it really just boils down to how much you actually want to beat it. Some people simply might not have the time or interest to keep failing over and over again. Sometimes, just being able to fight in that battle with friends might be good enough.

Usually if progression is regressing, it means one of two things. Either the new people aren't getting experience from it, or the group as a whole is getting fatigued. The former can lead to bad habits if not sorted out, and is usually better handled by a calm one-on-one talk with the person to find out the specifics of what they're doing wrong. The later is inevitable over the course of a session.

It's really something that has to be judged on a group basis. Someone who starts off getting hit by every other landslide or plume, but by the end of a run can make it to the post-heart phase without dying every time has definitely gained experience. On the other hand, the person still getting hit by landslides after three hours either has a connection issue or they're never going to get it. They've gained little to no experience, and everyone has largely wasted their time.

We had a dragoon in one our raid groups who was consistently making mistakes on Rafflesia due to nervousness. It took discussion it with the raid lead in private to eventually get him past it. A significant chunk of the "practice" he put in early on was actually completely wasted.

The right mindset is definitely one of the biggest factors for progression of a group. If you go in thinking you'll fail, then you'll definitely fail. If you go in nervous because of preconceived notions, you'll affect your performance negatively, and possibly the performance of others. If you don't think positively of your group, it will show in your actions.

This is where static, FC, and learning groups can come in handy. You can build confidence without fear of shame, you can practice your reaction times, and you can ask for help with learning good habits/job tricks.

So, as of 2.4, what seems to be the best way to quickly gear up new lvl 50 classes? MNK is my main, but I have a DRG (well, this one not so much, ilvl 93) and a BRD (ilvl ass) that needs some love and I'm working on PLD/WAR as well.

If I had to guess, I'd say Syrcus Tower. Chance at sands, oil, UAT and i100 gear, plus 50 sol for your trouble.

2x Savage Aim IV @ 10% Success rate away from a complete pentamelded ilv 110 Crafted Bard Kirimu Set. Kinda want to drag it out cause after this I'm not sure what to do until the expansion.

Why not just put 2 3s in there though? The coat caps at 41 crit so 2 3s would actually set you at a whole 2 under that cap(assuming you have put 3 crit 4s in there already), there's no reason to put anymore 4s in past 3 unless you like throwing gil away, 2 crit is not worth millions of gil.

I think he has enough gil that he doesn't actually care. And if that's the last thing that you're going to do, may as well go all in!

This is 2 separate pieces of Armor on the last meld so I'll have +36 Critical Hit Rate + 6 Determination on each ( Body / Legs ) I will be wearing this Armor until the expansion.

I'd be so angry with myself if I puss'ed out and went with III's. Statistically I'll go through 20 Savage Aim IV's I can make those in a few weeks, especially if I sell the Savage Might IV's and buy Aims.

Question, what DPS class is best if your mostly tanking, and will only be playing it occasionally?

Trying to decide what to level after I'm done with monk, and getting WHM to 30 for Stoneskin.

I thought you didn't want to be carried?
Click to expand...

I was alive at the end, did the elemental dance correctly, and didn't wipe the party. While I fully admit I need to work on the fight more, I wouldnt call that an outright carry.

Training wheels run maybe?

In any case, it's done now, so I can focus fully on getting my group caught up on content without distraction.

Also, once again, gotta thank everyone that helped with that. It feels really good to have that off my shoulders.

I need to find a nice pair of gloves to glamour on to my Ixal gloves. Not at all a fan of how they look and figure it's high time I did something about it. Probably gonna get Artisan's at some point, but that's a ways off still.

In other news, finally capped BSM for Builder of the Realm. Really happy about that. Now all that's left is FSH for Provider of the Realm (and some of my favorite lvl 50 gear in the game).

Oh hey it's Ultros Giant Bomb.

Grats on the static clear!
Click to expand...

Thanks! Yeah its our first clear for our free company. We formed this static in like Sept I think? So its been a mad dash to clear coil before echo.

We might have cleared awhile ago if it wasn't for our tendency to get distracted talking about really dumb things.

If anyone is interested our SCH put up his perspective complete with Skype call. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loy8SMVjo_c

Hey man, needing group to clear a video game is as real as it gets.

Are there any GP/CP potions in the game?
Click to expand...
CP, no, you regen full CP after every craft and can't use any pots or anything mid craft.

For GP, yes! You can get Cordials to restore 300 GP from either GC vendor for 500 seals or from some leve quest rewards as gatherer. Note you can't use it during gathering, but can after.
